Good question Bobby. The links to the albums themselves are Amazon affiliate links. When someone clicks an album from their feed and then buys it, we get a small commission.

Thanks Paolo. I will definitely let you know when we get to that point.

I really appreciate all of the feedback from everyone. I’m definitely going to be emailing each and every one of you guys and taking you up on your offers to test and give feedback

Josh -

I hope it does rock your world

Thanks for signing up. I’ll definitely drop you an email as soon as we launch and get your feedback.

And I will do a post about how we met. I don’t think I’ve ever done a dedicated post to the story. It is pretty interesting…and we are pretty lucky.

I like the way you’re building the buzz for this site. As somebody who uses RSS, I’m intrigued (and of course I signed up) about the idea that lockerpulse is going to rock my world when it comes to aggregating sports news.

Also appreciated your follow-up to Nethy’s comment. The fact you’re not working on Detailed Image as much as the other guys right now is probably the best sign that you’ve got a good diverse mix of partners and that you’re comfortable with your own boundaries. Besides writing on your timeline that your consulting work led you to your partners, have you ever written a post about how you guys met? Maybe it was just a high school thing, but if so it seems you all were pretty lucky!

You ask some good questions We have it structured in our partnership agreement that no one can do any outside ventures without getting the approval of the other 3 partners…essentially stopping one of us from going off and building a website that makes them a ton of money without sharing it with everyone else.

From time to time I do think about other businesses that I’d run once I’m done with this one (both online and off), but for the most part my focus is pretty short term.
